Not Afraid - Eminem Parody, Verse 1 and 2

(Verse 1) This cannot repeat or loop around anymore, in my direction, I've had the wind kicked out of my sails due to depression. And everyday I hide away I'm not displaying the fight I'm saying. I'm down inside and sink, I'm more flipping down than you'd think. Lost for love and lost for laughter, facing upto my fears always ends in disaster. So I'm always down and doubting me, a desert there's a drought in me, while rain downpours are drowning me, the logic's leaking out of me. A mist hides the positivity you find in creativity. From an infant up to those last rhymes thinking I can't do s**t, so life devoured me. I need to shake that habit, 'cus this talent aint transparent so I wont bow out cowardly. I'm wasting my worth, but have a thunderous thirst, to rediscover some turf. Watch me now and you'll witness, as I drift with the surf, and wet the earth, of this desert, as I p**s on the dirt. You just heard now watch and observe! (Verse 2) I keep trying to fight but everyday it gets worse, I'm trying to carve out a path, it hurts, I loop around to where I stood first. I'm stuck suffering, but won't let no fat lady sing. Relapse, forget the feeling, I'll just get back to my feet and I'll stand, because fate demands, I'll never live it down if I don't rebound. I honestly promise to be at my strongest, in fact no impact or test can crush my chest, ever, Ima last and never rest 'til I bask that the flag never flew at half mast. I'll dip and I'll rise like a rollercoaster ride but I'll never hollow out inside or lose my pride. I'll battle depressions wickedness with all my witty grittiness and when I'm knocked down I'll breathe, go again and believe, with a greed for freedom core and seed until I'm freed. But that's a wish beyond a series of painful twists, a thirst to slit wrists through self hatred overlooked and underrated but not quenched of desire that'll fire home victory.
